Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:01:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=168656#comment-1403028@nflofficeadmin, I would think Cowher recognizes the benefit of the Giants being in a 4-3, as they have the linemen to properly run it (and don’t have the LBs).

As for Fewell… he’s a good DC, but he’s no kid – he’ll be 50 next year.

You’re kidding, right? No one can be that oblivious, can they? The NEW salary cap was lower than the old salary cap. The Giants were well over the cap. They HAD to cut players, allow free agents to leave, etc., because they were over the cap. Has NOTHING to do with the Maras financial situation at all. Had everything to do with the new CBA.

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:46:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=168656#comment-1402648I like Cowher’s toughness. I have a lot of questions about a Cowher scenario in NY though -but the number one question would be:

Will Cowher want to run a 3-4 defense like he did with the Steelers? – The Giants personnel is built for a 4-3, hands down.

Would he keep Fewell if given the option? The kid is a stud DC.

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 07:33:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=168656#comment-1402495The Giants will lose their next three games and will be 6-7 and out of the playoff picture. I like the Giants but that’s just plain fact.

And if anyone thinks the Saints are going to come off a bye week at home and lose to the injury-riddled Giants, they’re delusional.

Same old Coughlin last half season collapse save 2007. Should have never lost either of the Seattle game or the last Philly game , let alone both. Both lost on terrible playcalling by Coughlin/Golbride.

Maras low on cash spent nothing on Freee Agents this year filling team with minimum salaried players. They got what they paid for!

I laugh when I hear the 49ers complain about their schedule when they would be fighting for their playoff lives if they had the Giants schedule this year.
————
Not as much as I was laughing when Justin Smith knocked down Eli’s poor pass to end the game against the 49ers and then there was the hilarity of watching the Seachickens hand them their a$$ as well. I believe that one was described as ‘crushing.’ Ain’t life funny like that?

But these second half collapses every year are getting really old, the players don’t like to play for him, and maybe it’s time for a new staff. Gilbride isn’t winning anyone over either, so OK, we’ll take Cowher now…..

Yes it is…..He’s the coach!!!!!! He’s in charge and responsible for his assistants and his players and motivating them. Clearly, there was no motivation by either line or half the receivers or Jacobs to do anything productive Sunday night!

“Im tired of reading this–they say this every year!! Come on man–even when the Giants didnt make the playoffs last year–they were 10-6”

Well, I’m tired of starting out great and playing like crap the second half of the season. I’d rather see growth and improvement. There was no excuse to miss the playoffs last year other than they gave up in that Eagles game. FF 1 year…we control our own destiny and know the Cowboys are on our heels. What do they do? Lose to the Eagles…AGAIN! Now we are tied and have the worst schedule down the stretch and let not 1, but 2 teams back into the hunt for the division! Jacobs is less than a shadow of what he was, which is riduculous when this is time to audition for whichever team he hopes will take him next year if he’s so unhappy in NY. I, for one, am tired af great starts and mediocre finishes. I wasn’t happy they kept Tom last year, but I suspect that had to do with the CBA. If they don’t make the playoffs this year he needs to be gone.

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 03:10:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=168656#comment-1402226Cowher has been patiently sitting in the studio at CBS waiting for the Giants job. He knows it, everyone knows it. Remember, the Rooneys and Maras are joined by marriage; don’t think they don’t talk to each other. John Mara likely has all the info he needs on Cowher already, but as long as Coughlin has playoff-contending teams in December – collapse or not – there’s not enough justification to let him go. If the Bears had won in week 17 last year, the Giants would have been a wild-card team.

If the Giants finish 8-8 or worse, I would expect Coughlin to be relieved of duty… at which point Cowher would probably walk from Manhattan to East Rutherford for the formality of the interview, along with Fewell to meet the Rooney rule (irony). The Giants will give Fewell a good recommendation and he’d probably get the head gig at a team like Jacksonville.

That said, don’t rule Chucky out if the Giants job does open up. Gruden’s name hasn’t been linked to New York, but it would be THE team this off-season with the best chance to win – upper-echelon QB, 5 defensive ends who can get the QB (Osi, Tuck, JPP, Kiwi [a DE stuck at OLB], Tollefson – most teams barely have 1, let alone 2), a set of young receivers who can get deep and grow together, and up-and-coming guys in the secondary (Phillips, Webster, Amukamara). Let Jacobs go, use a full off-season and draft to shore up LB and the O-line, and the 2012 Giants should be a contender.

The last two Giants head coaches reached the Super Bowl – the Maras and Tisches will not settle for less.

Well if they had a Hicks and Rodgers on the team, they would definitely be overrated and it would be Coughlin’s fault……….

Bring in a young guy with new ideas who’s going to have a desire to prove himself instead of a guy who expects to be handed the keys to the kingdom the day he steps inside the front door.

Don’t forget the refs literally handing them the victory against Arizona.

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:17:06 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=168656#comment-1402046Oldest coach in the NFL by quite a few years. Maybe it’s time for him to call it quits himself instead of the media and the fans dropping hints year after year.

The problem with Coughlin is he is constantly screaming at his players during the games. It’s become so routine I’m willing to wager the players aren’t so scared of it anymore.

It’s a tough city to coach in and he’s had a hell of a run. When the moment arrives and he does leave us, he will be revered.

I feel like this story is run every year. ______________________________
I’m starting to think they just copy and paste the same story:
1 – at the beginning of the season.
2 – if they have a losing record after 3 games.
3 – if they go on a losing streak.
4 – if/when they lose a big game.
5 – if they don’t make the playoffs (what do they call that Black Monday? at the end of the season)
6 – if/when they lose a playoff game.
